I think that there is a huge difference between a song like GF and a song like HK. GF is fun and not very serious, sure, but HK is another level. It borders on parody and novelty type songs, while GF doesn't.

^ There's also the fact that HK has a dirty/(sexual) connotation. GF could have a sexual context of you read too much into, but foremostly it doesn't.

I think it would have been successful. But thank goodness it wasn't the first single. This song only ruins Avril's image. It is cheap, childish, and definitely not the experience I want Avril to undertake. It was released as a gift for Japanese fans and I'm glad it was only that, not more or less. Even that did not stop people's comments about racism... Concerning Girlfriend, it is very different from Hello Kitty. Girlfriend is a genius song compared to Hello Kitty.

I don't know if it would've been successful to be honest. People confuse me when they really enjoy terrible music [see: gangnam style].
I think HK would've been a great secret/hidden track.... that only die-hard fans knew about...

It would have been funnier if she released HK as the lead single and then once she had everyone's attention, she released the real lead single, like something super mature like Hello Heartache or GYWYL. It would have shocked everyone so bad. Best prank ever.

Musically, I think it maybe would have been a bit more attention grabbing than htNGU; however, most all of the backlash was rooted back to the music video, I think it could maybe have succeeded in some kind of viral capacity, if it had a different visual.
